It's been a while since I've done any HTML/CSS, so I could be wrong. the ID of a DOM element is exactly that - the id of the element in the document (object model). only the NAME attribute is used when POSTing form elements... so that come down to ID only being used on the clientside (as fas as this example is concerned - obviously serverside XML processors may make use of ID attributes for their own reasons) indeed both ID and CLASS attributes can be used to assign style instructions to a DOM element. (bare in mind that assign styles, even in very specific/advanced ways usually doesn't require referencing either attribute - the CSS pros/samurai are recommending using ID amd CLASS to assign style only as a last resort) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] [NEWBIE] Cant get $_POST to work

What's up David... This script *should* work... I don't see any errors, but try this anyways. In your change your print command to this: print(Hello, . $name . !

Re: [PHP] [NEWBIE] Cant get $_POST to work
Well this form *is* sending the data because there are no errors in your code... Their has to be some minor little mistake somewhere that we can't see in the code you gave us... look for typos, make sure the php code *is* on test.php. Also, when getting the variables from the post, try using $_REQUEST instead of $_POST, it may work. Try switching the method on the form page to get and see of they show up in the URL. You just gotta do some testing and rule out errors until you can pinpoint it. eatc7402 wrote: Thanks for the input. However it does no good if the variables are empty, which is my problem.
